| Looking for really fine cables at really low price No, you don't need shrink wrap but I would recommend a techflex covering over the braid shield. DIY'ers don't always consider the effects of long-term wear and tear. Some manufacturers would probably put the twisted pair inside of some type of ... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price I have made many balanced cables with other wire. Just use tinned copper braid shield for shielding. Order about a third to a half longer length than your signal cables since it will become shorter as it expands. There are other aspects you wil... | |
| Class D Technology "It’s like baking a cake"Actually, it’s more like frosting a cake that someone else baked. When I owned the Atsah’s (same Hypex Ncore modules as the Veritas, also in milled aluminum boxes) I had the opportunity to try different wiring harnesses be... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Dual (i.e., double run bi-wired) twisted pairs of thee WE 10awg here for speaker cables and a quad version (i.e., 4 twisted WE 10awg wires for pos and neutral, plus 2 more for ground - 6 wires total) for power cords to my Class A monoblocks. Real... | |
| Class D Technology My experience is similar to some others here and well-stated by timrhu,I stopped with the almighty NCore amps. They almost always sound impressive at first listen, clean, quiet, and cool running. For me though, they begin to show their true sound ... | |
| Current Thiel and Aerial owners-- please comment.. Interesting thread in that until yesterday it hadn't been responded to in over 13 years!The OP said, I've got fond memories of both Aerial and Thiel from my speaker shopping days 10 years ago.Ten years prior to 2003 means the OP last shopped for ... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price I am using Furutech FI-11(Cu) plugs/iecs.The Furutech connectors clamp the wires in a way that allows two wires to be clamped at the same time. The screw that tightens the clamp is located in the middle of the opening for the wires. I believe t... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Hi grannyring,I have a question for you about your post.I have been enjoying my Western Electric NOS wire greatly. I use 10 gauge for both speaker and power cables.Me too. I am currently using two twisted-pair runs (7awg per pole) to bi-wire e... | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! Thank you for trying those many amps and for sharing your impressions.I just finished an amp search on a much smaller scale, including an NC1200 amp like several here have asked about.I have not tried the Pass amps you like so much but I do agree ... | |
| Amps which are Great, but either Unknown or Underpriced Clayton Audio for Class A solid stateSPEC for Class D, if you can get away with a little less powerSend your McCormack to SMc audio for signature upgrades | |
| Bad news for audiophiles? Funds that would yield better results on other components end up going into expensive cables to compensate weaknesses in the system. Gotta agree with noromance, unless one has no budget and then one can have better components, expensive cables a... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Thank you bill_k for the suggestion to check out the new LaScala III DAC. After a day of Ayre's glide tone, the Adagio (using the on-board volume adjustment) is starting to flesh out and sound pretty good.klh007, I do not have a "link" to the sho... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Have Metrum's Adagio DAC/preamp burning-in over here. I have been pretty happy with their Pavane but the thought of an all-in-one DAC/preamp with volume control was interesting to me. The volume is implemented similar to (the same as?) the ODSE ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Geoffkait:"testimony is not fact or proof" Finally, we agree.So, my question is, if "the testimony of one thousand audiophiles" is not fact or proof, then is it "mere group hysteria?" Geoffkait: "How is marking cables or fuses for directio... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I suspect you’re confusing evidence with proof. The essence of audio cable marketing 101....Mad Men I also imagine you are dismissing the testimony of one thousand audiophiles as mere group hysteria. Don't confuse testimony with fact |
